After dinner in the evening, Lu Bocheng really handed over his private money.

Su Qingma was stunned when she saw it.

"Madam, I've given it to you." Seeing Su Qingma's face full of surprise, Lu Bocheng hurriedly expressed his attitude.

"I've really given it all?"

Lu Bocheng couldn't help but nodded: "It's true." He thought about it and shook his head again.

Su Qingma sighed and said, "This number is obviously wrong."

Then he heard Lu Bocheng say, "I have left dozens of taels of scattered silver in my purse. You can't take it all. If someone asks me to invite him to drink some wine, I can't afford it, it's so embarrassing."

I gave it all, but my wife won’t even let him stay dozens of taels, right?

But thinking about it, before he went to the battlefield, he only gave his wife a dozen taels for household use, and it seemed that he had left a lot of these dozen taels.

"Otherwise, I'll give you some more? I'll leave ten taels." Lu Bocheng held his purse tightly, feeling a little reluctant.

Su Qingtai's eyes widened: "You only have two thousand taels of gold that you hold five states in your hand, and you have more than two thousand taels of gold? A few years ago, you sent home one hundred taels of gold."

"That was the imperial court who gave me a salary before? And I could get some rewards from time to time. Now I eat myself, so who can pay me a salary? If I can save these, I will save money."

Su Qingma was stunned.

What is this situation? Being a boss is poorer than an employee? It is unheard of, and it is unseen.

"You didn't have any spoils before, but now you're gone? In recent years, you have fought a lot of battles."

"Yes, yes, but I've given them all to the quarantine officer to exchange for money." Lu Bocheng said so confidently. Is it easy for him to raise an army of more than 100,000?

Su Qingma looked at him blankly, what is it that... what should she say?

He saw him patting his head again: "Oh, I forgot that I kept some secretly. Madam, wait for me, wait for me..." After that, he turned around and ran to the inner room.

Su Qingma also followed in and felt quite expectant.

As soon as I entered the inner room, I saw that guy crawled under the bed! He couldn't even stop him.

"What are you doing!" I had to squat down and ask him.

"Madam, please speak quietly." Lu Bocheng said to her under the bed.

Could it be that there were some treasures hidden? There were still many? Su Qingma couldn't help but silence.

In a short while, Lu Bocheng came out of the bed with a jar.

Su Qingma's eyes lit up.

When Lu Bocheng wiped the jar clean and poured out the things inside, Su Qingma was too lazy to say anything.

A small box of pearls is not small, each with a finger size, but only a dozen. A few pieces of jade, the water head looks pretty good. There is also a round jade with a fist, and the rest are gold of various shapes.

These things are half a jar in total.

"You are fond of hiding gold, why hasn't it changed? Which piece of jade is not valuable than your gold?"

"Jade is valuable, but it can't be sold. The quartermaster felt that it was a loss for selling it, so he gave it to me."

That's really hard for you. Tsk tsk...

"It's still gold that can be used as money. Unfortunately, when I escaped from Fengxiang, the jar of gold hidden in the tent was not carried out. In the end, I don't know who was cheaper. It hurts so much. But, lady, look, this round jade, the junket officer said it was chalcedony, which is valuable! Others' bids are too low, so he is not willing to sell it."

"Apart from these gold..." Su Qingtai weighed it for a moment. It could be worth hundreds of taels of silver. The box of pearls and jade is probably not sold at the price now.

Then he said, "Put the others back into the jar and bury them back. The gold is left with flowers."

"Don't you leave some for my son?"

Su Qingma glared at him: "You don't have a penny in your account now, and you still want to leave it to your son! Don't you have to eat and drink in this mansion?"

Lu Bocheng touched his nose. Then the gold should be kept for flowers, and he can't spend his wife's money.

While putting the jade into the jar, he said, "Why don't you bury it back? Madam, please use these pearls and jade to make jewelry?"

"I don't want it. I don't know who used it. It's better to wait for the future and sell it for money."

"That's fine." Lu Bocheng put the jade and pearls back into the jar and buried them under the bed.

Su Qingma was unable to complain about the channels for hiding money. But thinking about it, she didn't have a safe, so the underground under the bed was the safest.

When he came out, dusted him off and asked him, "Don't you usually get a salary?"

"I won't take it. I have food and drink, and I have money, so what salary should I get? Isn't it going out of my left pocket and my right pocket? Why are you doing that? Besides, if the army has no money, wouldn't it ask me for it? Then I'll still pay the private money?"

Su Qingma was stunned. What theory is this?

When the boss has not received monthly money, isn't there a year-end bonus yet? And how can public and private be confused?

"Not even your states can collect taxes? No one in the yamen has any income?"

"Yes, there are, but it's not enough for more than 100,000 troops to eat and drink. Besides, the states also need to support the people, so you can save some money."

Su Qingma was completely speechless.

I was quite helpless: "I'd better go buy a land and shop tomorrow, but I don't dare to expect you to support my family."

When Lu Bocheng heard this, he hurriedly grabbed her and put her hand in his palm and rubbed it: "How can I let my wife do the family support? I am rich now. I'm not going to give you three thousand taels?"

"Three thousand taels, a lot?"

Lu Bocheng nodded blankly, "Isn't there much?" My wife has such a big appetite? She almost can't afford it."

"When I left, I left you a dozen taels. You see, you have raised your son."

"I have to rely on your dozen or so, my mother and son have long been starved to death!"

Lu Bocheng didn't dare to look at her, so he touched his nose again: "Many people who retreated from the army, and when they returned home, some of them were left with the ten taels of Anjia silver issued by the army."

My three thousand taels are many times more than others. But Lu Bocheng dared not say this, for fear that his wife would criticize him.

Su Qingma didn't plan to talk to him.

Pull out your hands, hold your hands on the table, and think about buying a farm. What business should you do when buying a shop? Should you hire people to farm or rent them out for land?

"Madam..."

"Don't bother me."

"Or what if I will get my salary like them in the future? I will go to the army tomorrow?"

Su Qingma glared at him: "Are you so poor in these states? You are still worthy of being a military governor who doesn't get a salary? Save money?"

When Lu Bocheng heard her talk about this, he nodded repeatedly and complained to her.

"I'm poor. Last month, the army was short of money and asked Chuzhou for money. Chuzhou said he had no money and only gave 100,000 taels. It would take only 100,000 taels for 100,000 taels for two months. I was so worried. I thought Chuzhou produced salt and was richer than other states, but I didn't expect that the yamen could still not provide the money."

Lu Bocheng looked sad. Did he use the city he captured to exchange for money from others to support the army?

Isn’t that a territorial battle for others?

Very worried.

Su Qingma now knows that modern Yancheng is under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou at this time.
